Additional Historical Information

07-Nov-1973 While docked near the Toronto Island Airport the aircraft sank while being prepared for delivery to Fuerza Aérea del Perú. It was recovered and subsequently transported via road back to the factory in Downsview for repairs. Upon completion of the repairs it was delivered to Peru.
